Women And Monastic Buddhism In Early South Asia - Rediscovering The Invisible Believers

de Garima Kaushik

~~60,94€~~ 54,85€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book presents gender as a framework to offer unique insights into the sociocultural foundations of Buddhism. Moving away from dominant discourses that discuss women as a single monolithic, homogenous category - thus rendering them invisible within the broader religious discourse - this monograph examines their sustained role in the larger context of South Asian Buddhism and reaffirms their agency. It highlights the multiple roles played by women as patrons, practitioners, lay and monastic members, and the like within Buddhism. The volume also investigates the individual experiences of the members, and their equations and relationships at different levels - with the Samgha at large with their own respective Bhiksu or Bhiksuni Samgha, with the laity and with members of the same gender (both lay and monastic). It rereads, reconfigures and reassesses historical data to arrive at a new understanding of Buddhism and the social matrix within which it developed and flourished.This new edition draws on recent archaeological data from ancient Buddhist sites in Sri Lanka and recently compiled ethnographic data from convents in Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh, India. It assesses whether the working model formulated for the identification of gendered structures at sites in India holds good for sites across South Asia and highlights the presence of women within the monastic circles in varied roles.Bringing together archaeological, epigraphic, art historical, literary, as well as ethnographic data, this volume will be of interest to researchers and scholars of Buddhism, gender studies, ancient Indian history, religion and South Asian studies.

Power, Presence And Space - South Asian Rituals In Archaeological Context

62,26€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Patterns of ritual power, presence, and space are fundamentally connected to, and mirror, the societal and political power structures in which they are enacted.This book explores these connections in South Asia from the early Common Era until the present day. The essays in the volume examine a wide range of themes, including a genealogy of ideas concerning Vedic rituals in European thought; Buddhist donative rituals of Gandhara and Andhra Pradesh in the early Common Era; land endowments, festivals, and temple establishments in medieval Tamil Nadu and Karnataka; Mughal court rituals of the Mughal Empire; and contemporary ritual complexes on the Nilgiri Plateau. This volume argues for the need to redress a historical neglect in identifying and theorising ritual and religion in material contexts within archaeology. Further, it challenges existing theoretical and methodological forms of documentation to propose new ways of understanding rituals in history.This volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian history, religion, archaeology, and historical geography.
